My dd is still in hers and she's 9 months old, almost 10. She is pretty tiny still, just over 14 pounds. Keep in mind the minimum weight on the convertible seats is higher than the regular infant seats and twins are typically smaller than other babies born at the same gestational age. Also, the straps are adjustable and infant seats will go up to 25 or 35 pounds, depending on the brand.

Look in to convertable seats! They rear face up to 35lbs to 45lbs, (which is recommended now, to stay rearfacing until at least 2yrs and 35lbs) and then you can turn them forward facing up to 65lbs. Join the car seat safety group and let them know your budget, car, a few other things, and they can help you find GREAT seats, that will last you a long time!

you should check out the carseat safety group here on cafemom...they can help you find the best seat for your buget and needs. There are many infant carrier seats that can last a baby past the 1st birthday and there are also some convertable seats that could possibly work from birth up to 4 years old or more. The thing you really have to watch for is the lowest harness height because many of the convertable seats are too high for a newborn since the straps should always come from at or below the shoulders in a rearfacing position and even some of the infant carrier seats are a little high as well.

unfortunately with that stroller you will have to have at least one infant carrier if you plan to use it before the babies are older since only the back seat fully reclines. If you did decide to go with convertable seats you could always purchase a cheap used graco infant seat NOT to use in the car but only for the stroller...(.never use a carseat that you dont know the history of) they are often on craigslist for $20.
